Rear Axle Overhaul

We have recently installed the rear axle into our Mustang after cleaning it up and giving it a new coat of paint. We ground out any rust on the axle, and then proceeded to grease and paint the axle before reinstalling it. After the axle was cleaned up, the team installed it into the Mustang with new upgraded Bilstein struts, and new braided stainless-steel brake lines.

Hunter Foulks and Quentin Dickerson grind the rust and dirt from the axle.

The next step in the conversion process is the installation of the battery rack and batteries in the rear of the car, where the spare tire used to be stored. Seven batteries are planned to be stored in the rear of the car, while the remaining five are planned to be stored in the engine compartment in order to balance out the vehicle.
